Not long ago I called the switchboard, who told me they’ve not had to put any calls through. We double checked the number as well!

I’m part way through my last on-call weekend and I haven’t been rung yet, which is making me worry there’s a problem with my phone! I have my second counselling appointment this week, and I hope I feel comfortable enough to open up; I spent some of the last session describing how I’ve developed different ways of…

Sending a hug your way

Category A too; if work starts at 0730 then as far as I’m concerned, you’re here ready to get busy at 0730. However, for the last 7 months I’ve been working with a few people for whom a 9am start means they’re pulling into the hospital at 9, then get a coffee and then eat breakfast. They’ll also answer their phones in…

Happy Thanksgiving American Jezzies, hope everyone can find at least a little bit of happiness in what’s a very trying time.

Thank you; it’s mainly about not being pushed into working long shifts which can take me a whole day off to get over, and not expecting me to run around like the RNs half my age can and if I need it, allow me 10 minutes alone to clear my head. 

It’s a shame I live in the UK, because I would give Decima a home right now 

Anyone else had one of those moments when you genuinely don't know whether to be happy or sad about something (and I'm sure that's a yes)? I got my latest Occupational Health letter this week which said between my depression, PTSD, pacemaker and a couple of other things, a tribunal would likely consider me as…

There's a lot of texts i wish I'd sent, but didn't if that counts

Who doesn’t!!

I spend our team meetings not volunteering for anything and counting the on-calls until my secondment ends...

Yikes! Also, I too would like to say thank you for bringing us today's SNS at a friendly hour. I'm a bit more likely to contribute if I don't have to set an alarm for 3am!!

I know this is probably going to sound vain, but it’s the appetite & weight gain I’m worried about. I put on close to 50 pounds last time

Saturday night I had a long and vivid nightmare about being in a group of people in the middle of a fast zombie outbreak. Lots of panicked running, close escapes, as the group got whittled down to 2 of us (zombie attacks, leaving people behind for the safety of the group) who were trapped with no way out at the dreams…

I am proud to second these worthy contributors!

Rooting for you!!

We can but hope....

Happy Birthday, I'll be celebrating my 48th next year!

Don’t worry about the lateness, I think many were worried SNS had been cancelled😀
